Small bowel obstruction can be treated by surgery and gastrointestinal decompression. Small bowel obstruction is not able to eat, so it is easy to suffer from malnutrition. To improve malnutrition during postoperative recovery, intravenous nutrition therapy and enteral nutrition therapy should be taken in accordance with the patient’s condition.
1. Intravenous nutrition therapy: In the early postoperative period, when the gastrointestinal function is inhibited and the patient is unable to eat temporarily, it is necessary to adopt intravenous nutrition support therapy, which can replenish water, electrolytes, glucose, amino acids, fat milk and other energy substances through infusion to improve the malnutrition of the patient.
2. Intestinal nutrition therapy: when the patient’s gastrointestinal function is fully recovered, the patient will gradually transition from fluids, semi-fluids to normal diet. Patients need to have a reasonable diet, eat more easily digested, easily absorbed, nutritious food, such as: fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, chicken, milk and so on. Through reasonable dietary adjustments, ensure that the patient’s nutritional needs are good.
